While running tonight on Alpine Peaks, I noticed a horrific new trend. When hit by volleys of Clan LRMs my speed was reduced from 140 to 0 every time they impacted. it would even shut off my throttle lock. This of course got me killed because you can't run and shoot when every missile salvo stops you faster than hitting a wall.

What's up with that PGI?

It only seemed to happen from clan LRMs though.

Could you record a video of it? Cause that will help tons.

Trying. I hope it was a freak isolated incident.

Maybe you ran out of gas.

"Dear Kyudoon,
Sorry for the inconvenience, but we were all out of fusion engines! We decided to repair your trusty mech with an ICE instead. Don't forget to visit the gas station before boarding the Leopard!

Love,
Your techs"

Maybe it's the Clan's diabolical new weapon system - missiles loaded with a thick epoxy resin-like substance so they can glue FS9's in place

new secret clan ammo, warheads filled with tar

I would instantly load every mech I have with CLRM 5s if this is the case (because they are so damned small, you can mount them, and still have the LAZORZ).

Chances are it was an isolated incident, and if it wasn't, PGI would likely hot fix it quickly.

That said, if it is an actual bug, how has it not been picked up before now. Are there so few CLurms in play at the moment?

[Kjudoon]

I would too! Thunder, I just want to know if this is a thing or not, or just a one time glitch. My money is on some server derping out. For all I know it didn't render that way to anyone else either.

Never had that problem of heard of it before.


What is your ping and frame rate?


I know when my latency goes to hell the game has issues reconciling client and server side and things go really wonky, including the throttle resetting to zero.

Ping of 51
FPS 40-90

You were being hit by little tiny mechs and their constant collisions with you was causing the instant stops and warping.

PGI's likely just testing out collisions on a micro scale.

[Kjudoon]

Yeah, it must have been a server glitch for that match. I can't get it to do it again, but lemme tell you it freaked me out.

OK probably not that then! LOL!


When it happens to me it's with a ping of like 2-250 and a FPS of 8-9.

Which, playable for be is 100-150, and 10+ FPS
